CABLE THAT HOLDS FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE RUSTED THROUGH AND BROKE IN WHICH MY SPARE TIRE WENT FLYING THROUGH TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS KILLED. VEHICLE IS A 1994 DODGE RAM 2500 PICK-UP TRUCK. I FEEL CABLES SHOULD NOT BE USED TO SECURE SPARE TIRES UNDER A VEHICLE. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA THAT SALTS THE ROADS EVERY WINTER.
